Accessing Ethereum in a decentralized way has a high barrier to entry for reasons of cost (hardware), knowledge, or time. These problems cause users to rely on centralized providers.
A few examples on how Ethereum's Portal Networks will tackle these centralizing forces
- EIP 4444's + Portal History will allow nodes to maintain current day RPC, well saving 800GB of storage.
- Portal State will allow wallets to use a decentralized backend instead of a centralized backend like Infura.
I work at the Ethereum Foundation, on the team EF Portal team. I wanted to solve problems as a kid and ended up here. My focus is on Execution Lightclients, our Portal History and State network. I fix all the scary bugs, and I am currently working on using an EVM and executing all the blocks to latest for our State Network, building Trin Execution. Trin is the name of the Portal Client I work on at the EF and it is built in Rust.
